Inspired.

One: my Zumba instructor was doing something crazy last night in class that I absolutely was too fat to do, a yoga balance stretch lunge thing on the floor pose that is just NOT meant for fat girls with bad knees, and she was giving me shit (playfully) for not doing it.

Then she said that a year ago, she couldn't do it at all, and that before that, there had been a morning where she woke up and couldn't walk at all (she has lupus and rheumatoid arthritis), so dammit, she was going to do as much as she could before that happens to her again. So now my goal is to get that damn pose down pat by the end of the summer.

Basically, it was this, but even deeper and with no freaking hands. UM YEAH NO. But I will figure out how to do it.

The other was my friend H who came to Zumba last night. The last time I saw her, she was 97 pounds heavier. She looks AMAZING now, and is so much happier and says she FEELS so much better physically. And I am just all "IF SHE CAN DO IT, SO CAN I." Also, she writes romance novels and I think that is awesome.

Basically, I need to amp it up. I'm still losing weight, but I am taking it a bit too easy. I am going to try to focus on eater fewer carbs in the evenings and replacing my daily lunchtime yogurt with something a bit less sugary. Any suggestions?
